Happy Spring! I hope you've all done well on your classes, especially with the given extension. There will be several events under way at the Academy to enjoy the break between rounds of classes. You should be able to expect your next classes in April!

On the other hand, an interesting and mysterious new development has occurred at the Academy, regarding the return of certain two teachers. Please read about the news at the Academy's main page for details. Our spring might turn out much more differently than we expect.

I've rearranged the character sheet galleries for the group. Since it's pretty hard to secure gallery submission permission from students of long ago, all Graduates and Ex-Students have been moved into the folders in our Collections. It might be a little weird for active members, but the gallery looks more consistent. Character sheets in that are in storage have been removed, unfortunately, but a note has been made of the student's name. Old versions of character sheets have also been removed.

I've also submitted all "active" (i.e., not graduated or resigned) character sheets from League 3 and 4 into the AzuStudents gallery, but the original artist will need to give their permission for it to appear. In the case that this doesn't happen, then an archive folder is also placed in Collections, between Graduates and Ex-Students. I hope it looks better this way.

There some Spring mini-events to look forward to! They are simply ideas for now and the plans are not guaranteed to occur, but they sure are fun to think about. The events include:

Spring Fashion Contest - Probably what it sounds like. House Event Bonanza - Draw a coordinated theme with your house members. I have a few ideas already! What about you? Bunny Be Mine - Bringing back the Easter event we had one year. It's basically an egg hunt all over the campus. Heroic Event - Anybody remember the weird and dangerous adventures that our "exams" would turn into? They have become "Heroic Events" now, so inexperienced students don't have to be subject to any unexpected danger. I wonder what's going to happen? In any case, seniors and grads, be prepared to take up your heroic mantle!

CLASSES: Classes are now considered over. The class deadline was extended until the end of the month, so submit any last-minute entries now. Late entries will earn a penalty of Academic Credits for late classes, and for those who signed up for the new classes, the Event Credit bonus will no longer apply. Work hard next time though! The teachers are still working out the new system as well. Remember, you can submit any of your classes here to the Assignments & Exams folder. You can view your grades in the Students List, under the Class Sign-Ups tab.

There has been some positive feedback regarding the idea of a new icon design, so you can look forward to a mini-event for it in the near future.
